Team ICO developer working on new project

The development team behind Shadow of the Colossus garnered a lot of critical acclaim and fans with the release of that game on the PlayStation 2. Any news on a new game from that team would be met with a lot of interest, and a new job listing on the Sony Japan website suggests the company is gearing up to do another one.

Although the job listings are in Japanese, the name “ICO” is clearly visible at the top of the page to represent Team ICO. The jobs offered include a game planner, animator, artist, and effect/particle designer, but no clear details of the game are given, and Sony is staying tight-lipped when asked for comment.

This game is obviously going to be for the PlayStation 3, and I hope it is the next in the series of ICO games. The power offered in Sony’s new console will allow the team to create the breathtaking environments it is well known for, but in crisp HD. Gameplay will likely follow the previous games, and that’s no bad thing.
